chapter 2 - u don't know

*Austin*

Damn my head hurts. Why does it feel like I hit the bus.

" What do you mean you can't give me a higher aspirin dose?" I hear a feminine voice say.

" Miss Carter please calm down this an ER." I hear another female reply to her. 'Miss Carter'. Why does that name sound familiar?

I try my best to raise my head. I fail the first time. I do it again but this time I wasn't even trying. Okay third time's the charm and,..., I'm up.

I hold my head in pain.

" You too huh." I raise my head to see the blurry figure of a dark skinned person in the next bed to mine. Hold up, I'm in a clinic. Damn my parents are going to complain about the bill. Again.

It's Jayda. Oooooh, Jayda Carter.That's where I know the name from. Silly me not giving a shit about people's name.

"I keep asking for aspirin, but miss budget nurse over there is keen on saving resources." She says the holds the side of her head in pain.

I would respond but I've barely ever spoke to her before, so I just give a gentle smile. Suddenly I hear a loud and obnoxious yawning sound to my right.

" Damn I slept like a baby." Daniel say raising his head.

" Act like one too" Andrew replies. He getting up from a bed next to Daniel.

" I see your all awake." The nurse Lily says and walks over to me. she does that eye check this with the mini flashlight and the other doctor check up stuff.

" It seems you all suffered a mild concussion from the incident." She announces.

" Yeah what incident exactly?" Jayda asks.

"The staff are still trying to figure out what happened exactly caused the explosion -"

" What did she say." Andrew says in a weird accent. I think that's a meme.

"Oh my God, I survived a terrorist attack." Jayda exaggerates.

" Austin you just had to." Daniel says.

" I'm Muslim not Arabic." A stereotype and racist joke all in one. Daniel is slipping.

" Well regardless, no one got hurt. The rest of your course mates have been discharged, feel free to leave anytime before we close." She says and walks back to her desk.

Jayda immediately take her leather jacket from the seat next to her and walks clumsily towards the exit.

I grab my backpack which is also on the chair next to me and take out my headphones.

Daniel chases after Jayda. Yep he's definitely going ask her to join our group.

" It's the end for me isn't it." Andrew says with the look of intense fear on his face.

"Yep" I say, play my metro booming album and walk the hell out of there.

I've always hated school but then again who hasn't. I Make my way through the clinic hallway toward the other exit. Suddenly, the air gets colder. Not like it's raining cold, like it's a snow storm cold. I feel this scary overpowering feeling like there someone,...., something watching me. I turn my head. Nope nothing. The feeling vanishes. okay, that's nice just my head playing with me.

I walk out of the clinic. Aaaah, fresh air. The place is empty. Oh well. By how low the sun is it's probably like 5pm.

I don't like people. Well at least that's what everyone thinks. Honestly that's what I want them to think. When I first got here, no one spoke to me. That is until I met Andrew and Daniel, the worse mistake a person could make. they're like an imps with spikes. they talked to me like we were already friends, they'd come and visit my dorm anytime they felt like, they'd borrow a dollar or 2 from me occasionally, we'd watch movies together, they got so close I began to doubt their sexuality. But in the end I realized that they're just trying to be nice guys. In The 21st century things like that still exists.

Suddenly, I hear something that sounds like a rock moving from my left. That must have been loud for me to hear with my headphones on. I turn to see a stone statue of a knight. It's all mossy and old. It's in a cool pose though, like he's just pulled it's sword from the ground. That thing must be weathering or something.

I walk over to the statue. It's funny how we have things like this in America. I start to walk away from it when I hear the rock noises again but this time long and extend and it's not stopping. I turn my head slowly.

My eyes widen when I see a deep purple light on the knights. Its shoulders

start adjusting and it raises the sword.

"Forsvundet fra dette land, din skide heratiske." It says. My mind is blown to bits by these few seconds. That and fear is what's stopping me from moving. After it says whatever the hell that was, it slams the sword into the ground. a sudden force sends me flying more than 20 feet away from him. He begins to Walk in my direction.

I've watched enough horror movies to know that I can move now. My feet gain a mind of their own and I'm sent running away while listening to 'Am I dreaming'.

*Jayda*

I walk down the stairs leading to my living room.

"Hey Jayda, where you off to again by this time." my mom asks raising hair head from my step dad's shoulder.

"Just going for walk." I respond.

"Probably going to meet up with her boyfriend." my little sister shouts out of nowhere.

" Shut up Tracey." I say.

" It's a bit too late don't you think." she says. I take a quick glance at my watch. '7: 49'

" Honey Jayda's a grown woman she can take care of herself, besides she probably had a long day at school and needs to clear her head or something." If only he knew. He said all of that without even taking his eyes off the TV.

" Okay fine, but don't stay out too long it's almost dark." If only she knew.

I give my sister a nasty glare before leaving. I walk across the gravelled compound. Would it have kill them to to use cement or maybe tiles. It feels like I'm walk away from a government facility. It might as well just be one with how much they keep me locked up.

Walk out of the mansion gates at a brisk pace trying to get away from the confines of my formal prison. I don't know why my Step dad lives in a mansion in the middle of the forest, but regardless I don't like him and probably never will. I mean it's only natural for a child to hate the replacement father, I just do in a mature way.

I wonder through the forest in the dark. An activity that helps me think. The fact that I don't know if there's a murderer behind me or not, gets me going. That's probably why people think I'm gothic. Well personally I wouldn't use the word gothic to describe myself, I just like black things and horror movies.

' What did she say' Andrews meme reference come across my mind. I giggle a bit out loud. What a weird boy.

Suddenly I hear a wolf howl in the distance. What? wolves. In Boston. Hoooow? That doesn't make sense. Not even a little. Are there wolves in Boston? You know what, how would I know? Not like I've ever seen any.

Damn, I wonder if I can skip class tomorrow. Probably not. But there was an explosion, though. Thinking about class makes reminds of this boring life I'm living.

College is an amazing experience up until the point you sit down and think of how pointless it is. Then it's boring, then you realize how much your soul hates the boredom. Then at that point you walk around in the a forest at night just to clear your head. Damn life sucks.

Suddenly, I hear leaves rustling behind me. I turn to see nothing. Must have been a squirrel. I hear another rustle far ahead of me. A very fast squirrel I guess. Then I hear another but this time very close by. I pick up the pace and speed walk my way towards my usual spot at the lake which is very populated by this time.

For a couple of minutes, I repeat the vicious loop of hear howls and increasing my pace to the point where I begin to run. Then I start to hear foot steps. Not human feet, animal feet. I go into full sprint mode. I catch a small view of the lake and the people around. Yes, finally. Then I trip. Talk about timing gravity. This is Newton's fault.

I raise my head from the leaves and dirt to catch a view a wolf the size of van. I close my eyes in fear as it comes straight towards me. I stay like that for a few minutes. Nothing happens. I open my eyes. It's not there again. The fuck just happened.

" You're late I hear in the opposite direction." I turn my head to see the most confusing sight.

2 figures, one was what appears to be a regular male at first but, with red glowing eyes, pale skin and to top it all off he's wearing a dark cloak. He's also holding something that looks like a wooden bar in his right arm. The other is a beast like thing towering over the other guy. Put it simple it's a werewolf. Huge wolf like head with sharp claws the size of small knives. It's totally covered in grey fur and it's eyes are black and beady with no single sign o white. What's amazing, is that it's standing on it's hind legs.

" Had some family matters I needed to address" the wolf says in a rusty voice fitting for a wolf. it almost sounds like a train screech met a bear growl.

"Isn't that touching." I can here his sarcasm in what seems to be a Russian accent. He looks in my direction after saying that. " What's wrong with her." He says and looks in my direction. For some reason when he looks at me my heart skips a beat, it's as if he's forcing the feeling of fear upon me. Cool.

" Her brain is probably adjusting to the neural wipe" The wolf responds." For we know, she's probably seeing a human talking to a stray dog."

" Never compare me to those disgusting, vile creatures" He says hissing. Vampire, he's definitely a blood sucker creature of the night. And what does he mean by Neural wipe. " Where is the package?"

" That's the thing I didn't come here to negotiate, I came to send a message." The wolf says and his claws extend in length.

"Pathetic dog" He says . he pulls out a sword from what I thought was a wooden bar and he uses it to perform a graceful upward slash that amputates his right arm. He goes for another one but the wolf uses the claws on the other arm to block. Damn those claws are as strong as knives and not just look like them.

The wolf guy kicks him back a few meters and that's when I notice how amazing his sword looks. it's deep red and reflects the moonlight so we'll it makes me want to cry.

" Your going to regret this." The vampire says. The wolf guy flexes his shoulder and the entire arm grows back, but the hair it's bald with no fur.

" That so?" He says and dashes towards him on all fours. The vampire also rushes towards him. When they collide, the wolf grabs him with the arm that still has fur on it and slams his body in to the ground. The vampire somehow evaporates into a deep read mist, which rises into the air. He morphs back into his solid body just a few feet above the air and descends the a downward slash. The wolf immediately uses it's quick reflexes to block and pushes him back into a tree. It slams it's paw or arm or whatever on the ground and roots begin to emerge. The slowly engulf the vampire.

"Hissssssss." He hisses and his eyes become brighter for a brief second. A red looking energy surges from him. When that happens the roots surrounding him scatter in different directions. I always hated the second phase of the boss.

He dashes for the werewolf again but this time he's faster. They rush toward each other again. The werewolf goes for the same tactic, but this time the vampire dodges it's claw. He almost walks completely past him then he makes a graceful U - turn from his left through his back to the right side. The wolf tried to blocks again with furless arm but this time the vamp goes for his fingers. Using this as an opening, the vampire slashes it's mid section and dashes back to where he stood before the bout.

Once again Mr. wolf just grows the part back and immediately begins another charge towards him. This time he roars. Not Howl. Roars, while running. The roar has some serious power to it cause now I'm probably deaf. The vampire stabs the ground and shouts something I can't here and a crimson circular barrier surrounds him preventing him from the sonic attack. I need popcorn for this.

The werewolf reaches the barrier and does circles around it while roaring at him. The vampire says something then a red beam of light fires from his left eye, which hits the wolf's shoulder. he stops roaring. The vampires immediately dissipates the shield and does another beautiful and graceful slashes that takes of the bad arm again. Why is he only going for the right arm. The Wolf grabs, but this time he evaporates before he can do any harm. The red gas particles move 10 meters away and he turns again. He's on one knee using his sword to support him and holding his chest in the other while hyperventilating. He's tired already.

!Grimace of the night! The vampire says. Not really saying saying per say. it felt like a voice from deep in side him announced something. All of a sudden several copies of the him start to appear out of nowhere and and they all rush towards the wolf guy.

The wolf slams both arms into the ground and a wave of long wooden spike emerge from the ground piercing all the copies but one jumps towards the the wolf evading the spikes. The wolf slashes the vampire in mid air. It turns to dust immediately. What the hell is going on here? All of a sudden the wolf's right arm comes off again and blood start trickling from it's side. The vampire appears from nowhere with his blade in the were wolf's side.

!Blurry disdain! He says

" Gotcha." The wolf says, ignores the stab wound and bites a huge chunk of the vampires arm off. After which it roars to blow him away. I knew that roar was dangerously loud.

The vampire screams in pain and agony. The wolf removes the blade from it's side. This time, it regenerates very slowly. I don't understand most of what is going on but this is some good shit.

Suddenly, a horde of bats descend beside the amputated vampire. It turns into a buffer looking vampire who seems oddly identical to the other vampire guy.

" Message received." The second vampire says, smiles and then all of a sudden they both turn into a horde of bats. Damn this nigga has plot armour.

The wolf looks in my direction then begins to run on all fours seconds later.

"Wait come back, you're supposed to bite me. " I say.
